About Eau Vive

Eau Vive is the spring water STAR launched in 1970, bottled at Andranovelona in the highlands, and the company calls it the number one water in Madagascar. It was sold in glass for decades before the brewer introduced spring water in PET bottles in 2006, which is what put bottled water within reach of everyday shoppers rather than restaurants. It is the older and more premium of the two water brands STAR sells.
